So....what is a rapidograph pen you ask? Its a refillable ink pen that comes in many sizes. Some of the nibs are so small you can barely see the line. People who have used rapidograph pens either love them or HATE them. Most seem to dislike them. They can be persnickity. They get clogged easily especially the smaller nibs that make the really fine lines. They can be messy since they are basically giving off a wet line of ink and they can also be messy when they decide you have not cleaned them recently enough for said pen to feel happy and content with its life so it will decide to explode ink out of places on the pen that ink should not come out of. Rapidographs are delightful little creatures but like the obnoxious 9 million year old senile, deaf and LOUD cat that I live with i love them anyway despite their idiosyncrasies

And that's what was left AFTER I washed my hands
However cleaning them can be kinda entertaining
